Sullivans Edge Ruler Blog Hop

Today I’m part of the Sullivans Edge Ruler Blog Hop. The rulers have a nifty cutting edge that sharpen the rotary blade each time you cut…which I need…because rotary blades are expensive and I’ve been known to keep mine a long time. I have the 6.5" x 24" ruler and the 6.5" square ruler… I mainly use that big one up there.

As part of this blog hop I’m supposed to share a recipe with you…and since I made cookies yesterday for my UPS man so he likes me again…I’m sharing my plain old but love Snickerdoodle recipe:

We make this recipe weekly. My kids roll the balls in the cinnamon/sugar…which means there is cinnamon/sugar all over my floor…always. Which is why the bottoms of my slippers are sticky…always.

For more ruler info, giveaways, and better recipe’s than mine…visit the rest of the blog hoppers this week:

I have never heard of these, what a great idea! I seem to go through blades pretty fast, mostly because they get a tiny nick in them that leaves one or two strands of fabric uncut so I get thread pulls. Maddening! Hopefully these rulers would help:>)

Oh I love snickerdoodles!!! I made them just a couple of weeks ago! A ruler that sharpens your rotary cutter sounds pretty nifty!!! I was just thinking about buying a blade sharpener the other day, but it was expensive :(

I love how all of you guys make stuff for your UPS men. I don't think I've ever seen mine. He drops my box and runs without ringing the bell! I'm usually grateful for that because it's generally naptime. Maybe I need to leave him a box of goodies on the front porch like for Santa! ;)

Thanks for the recipe-gotta love those snicker doodle cookies!! YUM!! Does this ruler really work to sharpen your blade? I was just wondering, because I've seen them before and just can't believe it works! It would be great if it did cause blades are NOT cheap!!

We shy away from changing cutter blades, as difficult to find just the blades in stock at JoAnn's. This would be wonderful for my mother and I to use (we both quilt) - sharp blade all the time. Please put my name in the hat for the drawing. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com

I've never heard of these rulers, but then again, I'm pretty new to the sewing world Thanks for sharing. I'm learning so much just from blog-hopping! :) Carenps - I hate cooking, but I really may be tempted to make these cookies - I LOVE snickerdoodles!!!

Snickerdoodles were one of my best sellers at my bakery! I have been out of sewing for a bit, and never heard of these rulers thank you for letting everyone know about this great product and a chance to win as well. Kim

I've not heard of this ruler before...What a great concept and money saver this would be, plus to keep me from having to put all my weight into the cutting when obviously I need to throw out a blade. :0)

my 19month old has just recently discovered the sugar bowl that i keep out for coffee. uh huh. i completely hear you on the sticky floor! no matter how much you clean it, it's just got a layer of tackiness, eh?

As I read your post, I quickly ran through the ingredients list in my head and was about ready to run to the kitchen to get started when I saw butter and remembered using the last of ours last night. Darn it all, those snickerdoodles look GOOD! Great giveaway and who couldn't use a ruler that sharpens your rotary blade?!

Snicker Doodles were always a favorite with my kids. Now that we have an empty nest, I can't think when I last made some, maybe it is time?? These rulers really work? I've seen them for a while, but been quite skeptical, so I am enjoying reading everyone's thoughts about them. 6.5 X 24 is the ruler size I use most of all, too.

We love Snickerdoodle cookies. And they're so simple to make! Now as to the ruler - I've never seen this one, but c'mon, just ilke fabric, we can never have too many rulers, can we? So put my name in the hat for the drawing. I'd love to have one!

Oh I would love to win one of the rulers... I wonder if that sharpening edge protects the ruler I have nicked the edge of my 61/2 square ruler. My oldest(34) loves the snickerdoodles.. I made my famous peanut butter this weekend.. Bless you

Yummy snickerdoodles! Not today though, made an apple pie yesterday and the smoke poured out of the oven, so no cookies till I clean it. Must say the pie was delicious, must of been the infused smoke, ha! Oh yeah, I would love a new ruler too!

Can you believe that I did not change my rotary blade for 6 years!!! My mom got me a new rotary cutter last month when she came to visit. It is so much easier to cut now :)ANd it's not like I don't use it. I quilt a lot. Just lazy on the little things i guess, sad.

Ooh, my UPS man is due tomorrow, bet he'd love to sample some Snickerdoodles. I need a new ruler in the worst way. The ink is fading on mine. Took a gander around your blog. When I have more time I want to go back & check out your tutorials. Nice looking projects!

I keep hearing about these and being skeptical about whether they actually work. I sure could use something though… I’m horrible about switching to new blades. I want to spend my money on fabric, not the blades! Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you for the post! I just started sewing and have been following your blog, slowly learning my way through everything! I have been looking for a square ruler for months but no where near me has them. Thanks to your post I now am pointed in the right direction! Many thanks! Keep up the great work!

I get so annoyed by the tiny nicks that leave just enough threads attached that you can't see them at first but have to go back and cut again, and everything gets out of line. I need to try those rulers! Genius.
